A fantastic opportunity to purchase this delightful semi-detached cottage in a quiet rural setting, with sizable garden and spectacular pastureland of approximately 8.37 acres. Potential to further improve and extend (subject to planning).
A semi-detached cottage with gated driveway and outbuildings with its own private garden and extensive land totalling approximately 8.37 acres, located in a peaceful rural setting, away from main roads and with super views extending over the surrounding countryside.
One of the main attractions of this cottage is undoubtedly the superb block of pastureland, arranged as one large field that can easily be subdivided plus a smaller separate field, each with their own easily accessible field gates, all stock fenced and curtailed by mature beech hedging. In the larger field, there are some now redundant buildings which could perhaps be reinstated as stables or field shelter, if required. The land is very gently sloping and appears to be well draining and could be used for livestock or ponies/horses, also accessed directly from the rear garden of the property.
The cottage is built of stone elevations with a painted render finish beneath a pitched, concrete tiled roof. Some years ago, a single storey extension was added at the rear currently providing a generous utility/boot room located off the kitchen area. A small porch has been added at the front of the cottage and PVCu double glazing has been installed. The ground floor accommodation provides a comfortable open plan living area heated by a wood burning stove and further open fire, whilst a new kitchen has been installed and features a large larder/dairy room.
Upstairs, there are two bedrooms, the master which is a particularly good sized room and a recently renewed modern shower room. The third bedroom has been opened to create a large bright landing but could easily be reinstated to form the third bedroom if required.
OUTSIDE
The formal gardens and adjoining land are a very attractive feature of this cottage. Pedestrians approach via a wooden gate leading to a path to the front porch whilst a second five bar gate provides vehicular access to the parking area, garage and further adjoining outbuildings. The front garden is predominantly laid to lawn and interspersed with well stocked flowering beds and borders, plants, trees and shrubs, designed to provide an array of seasonal colour. Steps leads to the large rear garden which is completely private, sheltered and secluded and is also mostly laid to lawn with interest provided by a number of impressive specimen trees and flowering shrubs.
At the furthest end of the garden, there is a small wooded copse behind which there is a useful composting area and a field gate leading to the adjoining land. The garden enjoys a sunny, south westerly orientation and affords super views extending over the surrounding countryside towards Cornwall in the distance.
This is a fantastic opportunity to purchase this delightful lifestyle home, with excellent equestrian opportunities, and the potential to further improve and extend the property subject to the necessary planning consents.
